Optimal Tuning of Active Power Gradient Control for Frequency Support in Multi-Energy Systems

Coping with severe active power imbalances constitutes a challenging task in low inertia multi-energy systems. The phase out of the majority of conventional power plants with large size synchronous generators entails that power electronic interfaced devices should take over the primary task of active power balance-frequency control. In view of...

Synchronized Measurement Technology Supported Online Generator Slow Coherency Identification and Adaptive Tracking

In an electric power system, slow coherency can be applied to identify groups of the generating units, the rotors of which are swinging together against each other at approximately the same oscillatory frequencies of inter-area modes. This serves as a prerequisite-step of several emergency control schemes to identify power system control...

Discovering Clusters in Power Networks from Orthogonal Structure of Spectral Embedding

This paper presents an integrated approach to partition similarity graphs, the task that arises in various contexts in power system studies. The approach is based on orthogonal transformation of row-normalized eigenvectors obtained from spectral clustering to closely fit the axes of the canonical coordinate system. We select the number of...
